My 88 Raleigh Maverick with my 86 911...

That's my new purchase : a 88 Maverick, first owner.
I've bought it 2 weeks ago for about 20£. Everything was original, even the tyres !
I've just changed the saddle and the grips.
I love his "vintage style" :mrgreen:

Do I get a spotters badge for noticing you removed the subtle reflectors from the wheels?

[edit] Also, whilst the colour scheme isn't something I would go for I think it looks really distinctive and works really well. Looks like you've kept it in fantastic condition.

added thumbs up for the gratuitous placing of the porshe...

My first MTB - rode it into the ground which was easy thanks to it's weight

Indeed, it's not the lightest mtb :mrgreen: but I just love this bike... He's so thin... It's the opposite of my deltav1000 or Yeti 575.
And he's part of the mtb history

Had one of these in '88 or'89, paid about £200 I think. At the time I thought it was the biz, but still, it got me into mountain biking and gave me a hobby for life as armed with an Ordnance Survey map I learnt many of the trails in my area and even further away.

I sold it to someone at work who put it into their garage located in a remote block. Yup you guessed it -- someone broke in via the roof and stole it.

Any way a nice example you have there, enjoy.

Dont know if its just me that thinks it but it really blends in well with the porsche.

definitely has a vintage style to it, love it.

That's lovely. Twenty quid was an absolute bargain!
